We issue a that any days exceeding the usual period during which a woman sees blood are considered menstruation, as long as it does not exceed fifteen days, because the customary period can increase or decrease. Therefore, there is no need to make up the prayers for the three extra days beyond the usual period. As for the second instance, it was necessary to wait until the bleeding stopped and then perform , but there is no blame, God willing, as long as the questioner followed the fatwa of the one who advised her.
